Along with the exploding stage effects, I slowly opened my eyes and checked the scoreboard.
The overlapping numbers gradually came into focus in my mind.
Lady Swan <Calendar> 205 votes : Leopold <Shadow> 95 votes
Min Si Young <Beyond the Waves> 214 votes : 2OCD <Be the LOW> 86 votes
Overall 1st Place: Min Si Young <Beyond the Waves>
“Oh…”
My legs almost gave out, and I nearly collapsed ungracefully.
Overall first place.
The team that covered “Beyond the Waves” by Min Si Young—our team—was first.
Before celebrating, I instinctively glanced over at Min Si Young, the original artist of our song.
“This stage feels like a gift to me.”
While CEO Do Jae Chan was staunchly supporting the ‘Calendar’ team, the fact that our team secured first place meant someone must have argued for our team to win.
“―.”
She was staring at me intently, mumbling something I couldn’t decipher.
“Chunyoooooong!”
“Chunyong Aniki!”
…Two of my teammates ran over and hugged me.
Ryota, I could understand, but even Yu Chan hyung was tearing up. Considering all the problems our team had, even he wouldn’t have expected this result.
I certainly didn’t.
“Really, wow! You did great today. Thank you. Thank you so much, Chunyong!”
“…It’s nothing.”
Hyung tossed his headband aside and ruffled my hair wildly. I naturally threw my arm over his shoulder, jumping up and down together.
Then, at that moment, someone slid into my defenselessly open left shoulder.
“Chu-Chunyong hyung….”
His voice was slightly embarrassed but couldn’t hide his excitement.
“Huh?”
…Jang Si Woo?
Si Woo was hugging me so easily?
This kid took a year to hug me the first time we met!?
“Thank you, hyung….”
Feeling bewildered, I gently patted our youngest’s back. His back was broader than I had thought.
Overcome with a strange sense of nostalgia, I stammered as I spoke to Si Woo.
“…Y-you did well, Si Woo.”
“…I’m sorry.”
I ruffled the youngest’s hair. He was apologizing unnecessarily again. I didn’t care if this earned me negative points in Si Woo’s mind.
First place.
A result created together with my two Arrows members and Ryota.
“Phew….”
“What? Chunyong, are you crying!? Are you crying?”
“I’m not crying!”
I quickly denied Yu Chan hyung’s teasing while rubbing my face vigorously. I really wasn’t crying.
